POLITICIANS TRY TALKING MOVIES
New Invention Enables Coolidge to Address Fenway Theatre Patrons
The several campaign leaders, not satisfied with the use of the radio for political spell binding, have resorted to the use of the talking moving picture, a new invention, not yet perfected.
The Fenway Theatre is exhibiting a one reel picture of President Coolidge this week, in which he addressed the audience. Next week John W. Davis will do the same, and La Follette will follow him.
The talking movie is an invention of Dr. Lee de Forest, the inventor of the audion detector and other radio devices. He has dubbed it, to distinguish his invention from others of the same kind, the "Phonofilm".
This is the first time that any demonstration of the "Phonofilm" has been made in Boston.
